Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman 7 Aug 2013

Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman is the first glass Hindu temple in the world and the only one in Malaysia. Temple called “Glass” because it’s decorated with glass inside and outside. The temple looks really beautiful, especially on a sunny day with blue skies, when glass shines. I do not take much photos as during that time, there was an ongoing prayers going on, and a lot of Hindus flooded to the temple.

It had been told that it was started in 1922 as a humble shelter. 74 years later, in 1996, the temple was rebuilt and reopened. Few years later a chairman of this temple Guru Bhagawan Sittar got the inspiration to decorate temple with glass. Transformation of the Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman temple with glass fittings started in 2008 and was completed on January 3, 2009. Since 2009, it has become one of the major attractions in Johor Bahru.

Outside the temple, there was one row of small shops selling prayers items, fresh flowers, etc. We do not go into the temple, we shall go in next time if we come back in the future.
